From actor Lee Junyoung, who has a thousand faces, to coach Lee Sang-min, the eternal big brother on the court, the protagonists dancing the beautiful "last dance" of their lives visit You Quiz on the Block.
The 350th episode of tvN's You Quiz on the Block, airing at 8:45 p.m. on the 8th, is presented as a "last dance" special. The broadcast that day features science communicator "EXO-ssam" Lee Seon-ho, singer Park In-hee, Busan KCC coach Lee Sang-min, and actor Lee Junyoung, who is about to enlist, who will share their eventful life stories and candid confessions.
Lee Junyoung, who perfectly portrayed a 70-year-old chairman occupying the body of a man in his 20s in the drama Reborn Rookie and led the show to massive ratings, chose You Quiz on the Block as his last entertainment appearance before enlistment. With only 13 days left until enlistment, he honestly confessed that he felt "like riding a roller coaster," sharing mixed emotions, and delivered surprise comic turns that lead to "the military." The show also reveals fresh military information provided by veteran soldier actor Song Kang.
That day, Lee Junyoung recalls the time he endured harsh training after joining as an additional member of U-KISS and the fierce years as an unknown actor when he worked part-time jobs to make a living and failed auditions more than 100 times. In particular, he confessed the narrative in which he was deeply hurt by the remark "don't cause trouble, just go away" uttered with prejudice against him as an idol, which reportedly broke hearts at the scene. In addition, contrary to his shy nature, he revealed a righteous twist in which he once chased a drunk driver for a full hour and handed the person over to the police.
Lee Sang-min, known as Korean basketball's "eternal oxygen-like big brother" and the first in professional basketball to win five championships with a single team as player, coach and manager, appears on an entertainment talk show for the first time. Even MC Yu Jae-seok, saying "this is the first time I've met this person on air," could not hide his excitement, while coach Lee Sang-min recounts the miraculous drama of overturning a 0% probability from sixth place in the regular season to lift the championship trophy. A spicy behind-the-scenes episode with national treasure–level center Seo Jang-hoon, who put extra pressure on the team saying, "Brother, if we don't win with this lineup we're in big trouble," is also expected to provoke laughter.
From memories of an overwhelming heyday when his home became a "birthplace tour" course after receiving thousands of fan letters a day, to the trying times when he considered retirement after an unexpected trade and cried in front of fans, Lee Sang-min's 44-year basketball life is fully summoned. His choked-up sincerity toward his father, who passed away earlier, is also expected to move viewers to tears.
Also appearing is science's top teacher "EXO-ssam" Lee Seon-ho, who enjoys overwhelming support from elementary school students, to confess his turbulent life. He reveals the shocking past in which his father was swindled and left with a debt of 10 billion won, he squandered his entire fortune on stocks and coins, and suffered from depression and anxiety disorder. He tells how he, who had collapsed, found hope again within scientific papers, and how Yu Jae-seok's song "말하는 대로" changed his life.
Singer Park In-hee, the "singing poet," also appears to reveal the behind-the-scenes story of the creation of the national lullaby "Seomjip Aegi" and the MT staple song "Modakbul." She shares film-like ties with Sister Lee Hae-in, a friend of 68 years, and the passionate story of uniting Korean residents on the radio during the 1992 L.A. riots. In particular, Park In-hee's legendary live performance at that recording, which moved Yu Jae-seok and the staff to tears, is expected to be unveiled.
